HA NOI — Nguyen Thanh Tam scored a hattrick at the HCM City Television Cycling Tournament with a win in the 12th stage yesterday.

Tam of Gao Hat Ngoc Troi An Giang completed the 40km stage around Quang Ngai City in one hour, two mins and 17 seconds.

He made a strong sprint in the last few metres, leaving arch rival Le Nguyet Minh of Minh Giang-HCM City behind to take the top podium.

He had earlier won the second and 11th stages.

The win pushed Tam to the second position in the overall ranking and threatened the leading role of Huynh Thanh Tung of Military Zone 7, who came eighth yesterday.

Tung maintained his position as the leader after 12 stages, with a total time of 28 hours, 53 minutes and 49 seconds, but he was just 17 seconds faster than Tam.

Minh is the No 1 candidate in the race to take the green jersey. He has so far scored 130 points.

In the team ranking, VUS-HCM City were on top, followed by Gao Hat Ngoc Troi An Giang and Military Zone 7.

The next stage is from Quang Ngai to Quy Nhon City in Binh Dinh Province and will cover 181km. — VNS
